LAX passenger is caught trying to smuggle 12,000 fentanyl pills through airport in Whoppers, SweeTARTS and Skittles wrappers
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Los Angeles County sheriffs on Wednesday announced that the passenger was stopped at LAX airport with dozens of what appeared to be candy boxes

  • Inside the investigators found 12,000 suspected fentanyl pills: the passenger fled, but has been identified, police said

  • Fentanyl remains the most deadly drug in the United States, and last was responsible for 66 percent of the 107,622 drug poisoning deaths last year

  • In the first eight months of this year more fentanyl has been seized than in the entire year of 2021: three times as much has been seized than in 2020

  • The DEA are warning that cartels are using colorful and enticing new packaging to try and get younger people hooked on the highly-dangerous drug

Yep. Whatever you try to smuggle in, you consume all at once. If you live, you get to go to a soft jail.
